The Phoenix Suns have confirmed they are moving forward with an unspecific
number of layoffs.
鳳凰城太陽隊的官方代表，在最近證實曾在幾天前進行了非特定部門與人數的裁員
動作。
"We've been working on restructuring a number of departments since early this
year," Suns Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, Dean Stoyer, told The
Republic, in confirming the layoffs. "We found that some of the roles were
redundant, some roles were outdated and there were some roles impacted for
performance reasons."
太陽隊的行銷與構通部門主負責人Dean Stoyer對當地報紙亞利桑那共和報坦承有
員工裁減一事，並說明「我們球團從今年年初起，就已經進行重新構造內部部門
的工作至今。在當中，我們發現有些職務是多餘的、過時的，以及因考績評等而
受到影響的(暗指去職)。」
The site sports360az.com reported that 30 employees were laid off.
根據(另一個)與鳳凰城相關的體育新聞網站「Sports360AZ.com」報導︰這次的
球團裁員，人數已經達到30人。
The Suns have also sold their G League team and have parted ways with
assistant coaches Steve Blake and Larry Greer.
太陽隊近期的重要異動還包括—
1.賣出原本旗下G聯盟的子隊(給活塞)
2.不再續聘Steve Blake與Larry Greer的助理教練工作
註︰文中的Steve Blake的確就是那位資深球迷不會陌生，曾經效力過拓荒者、
湖人乃至勇士的白人控衛；至於Larry Greer熟悉的人應該不多，但他也有在
拓荒者、灰狼、亞利桑那州立大學(ASU，哈登母校)擔任理教練的經歷
Stoyer separately told Sports Business Daily that COVID-19 "was not a factor"
in the cuts.
Stoyer在接受另一家媒體「體育產業日報」(SBD)採訪時，則透漏了另一個與這次
人力編縮相關的聲明—席捲全球的新冠(武漢)肺炎，並不是導致人力裁減的因素。
